Joking Indigo Girls
JOKING (Amy Ray)
----------------
[The net result of all the instruments is G Em7 C(9) D, which you can
play as 320033 022033 x32033 x00232, but actually, Amy just plays
G Em C D, or 320003 022000 x32010 x00232. In other words, Amy never
plays the D variations; that's Emily's part, way up high on the neck.]

[intro]
You said the w[G]orld was magic, I was w[Em7]ide-eyed and laughing
C (9 fr.) D
We were dancing up to the bright side
For[G]get about your ego, for[Em7]get about your pride
C (9 fr.) D D
And you will never have to compromise
G Em7 C (9 fr.) Dsus4-D-D (9 fr.)-D
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers
I could've been your sister, I would've been your brother
You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war
I'm a dying man, but I don't know what for [stop]
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing...)
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D G Em7 C(9) D G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
[guitar solo]
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
I bruised my heels on the swollen street
We were girls in bars, boys on the town
Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
You said good friends are hard to come by
I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry
Well, sentiment given or sentiment lost
You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [stop]
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Gravel and glass...) (I bruised my heels...)
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
You were joking, you were only joking, brother
(You kissed me like a soldier...) (I'm a dying man...)
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(...dying man, but I don't know what for...)
D D [stop]
And you were only, and you were only, and you were only
G Em7 C (9 fr.) Dsus4-D-D (9 fr.)-D G [stop] n.C.
Joking, brother One two three four...

[instrumental]
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
Sha-la, sha-la, sha-la, sha-la
G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
Sha-la, sha-la, sha-la, sha-la
